Description
Ruled by the Daedaric Dynasty since anyone can remember, this mighty Empire controls most of Eastern Aldoria, where it enforces a harsh, oppressive military dictatorial rule on those unfortunate enough to live there. Short of the Outlaws, the Imperial Army is the largest armed force in Aldoria, and the Imperial Guard hosts some of the most powerful Evil Gunslingers in existence. However, this massive size comes at a price: they are not very technologically advanced, relying heavily on massed conscript infantry and armored vehicles to counter the better equipped and trained forces of other factions. The current Emperor, Lucas Daedarian XVI, has been causing a lot of trouble along the boarder with the UKR for years now, rattling his sabers and gearing up for war only to back down at the last moment. He claims that it is his Divine Right to rule all of Aldoria, maintaining that his family is descended from the sons of the Sun God himself. This irks the Templars, who consider it heresy, but his promise to enforce the Sol Codex across the continent has caused members of the Order to consider joining forces. The Empire is despised by the Lawmen, frowned on by the League, and hated and feared by the Republic, with which it shares a boarder.
The Imperial Army is composed primarily of conscripts, both baseline human and mutant, who are generally treated as cannon fodder, supported by armored cars and trains. Their uniform is a simple desert-tan fatigue outfit with red beret, collar flashings, and other trim, and their standard armament is the SIR-88 straight-pull bolt-action rifle in 8x54mmR, supported by the ILM-92 submachinegun in 7.64x23mm Imperial. They are occasionally issued trenchcoats for colder weather, in the same colorscheme. The Imperial Guard, on the other hand, is quite possibly the most disciplined and uniform group of Gunslingers around. In addition to their signature guns, they carry SpIR-103 machine rifles in 8x54mmR, and are armored with Pre-War designed ceramic combat armor on par with that of the League or Republic. Imperial Gunsmiths are numerous, and charged with mass-producing Legendary Guns. Unsurprisingly, this approach tends to produce decidedly Evil, but mediocre guns, but this is of little concern to the Empire, which has always preferred quantity to quality in any case.
